PR:Permanent Residency

Updated: Mar 26, 2024

A Permanent Resident Card, commonly known as a Green Card, is a plastic card issued by the country's Citizenship and Immigration Services that includes the individual's biographic information, photo, fingerprints, and expiration date.

It is a person's resident status in a country where they are not citizens but have the right to live continuously. It grants the green card holder the right to stay and work in the country indefinitely.

Although the green card/permanent residency card has a ten-year expiration date and must be renewed, the green card holder's status as a "lawful permanent resident" remains valid unless abandoned or revoked by the country's government.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKES TO GET A PERMANENT RESIDENT/GREEN CARD?

Green card/Permanent Residency card applications might take anywhere from 7 to 33 months to be processed.

Family Preference Green cards/permanent residency cards can take anywhere from one to ten years to process, depending on the wait time and yearly cap.

Employment-based Green cards/Permanent Residency cards can take up to a year to process for visas with a low demand factor of 4 to 6 years, as opposed to visas with very high demand.

WHEN TO RENEW YOUR PERMANENT RESIDENT/GREEN CARD?

Permanent residents usually have a 10-year expiration date and in such cases, the applicant generally should apply for renewal immediately if their card is already expired or within 6 months before it's set to expire. But don't apply too early as there are chances of your application to be declined if you do so.
